Pics would be helpful, in the meantime, below are some pics from our host that includes the rim:

Those are great links for comparison. I do wish they also showed the edge. I am assuming that in addition to sharp edges the proof coins also have a flat, wide edge. (?)
thank you ive tried to compare just not seasoned enough to judge the rim from the pics
the tones on those are amazing.......im going to add pics in a few mins
here they are not a photographer but did my best
Not Proof in my opinion. Many early Lincolns have nice wide rims similar to the proofs. When you find one of them they will knock your eyes out. Yours has partially wide rims.
Perhaps it’s the lighting, or maybe just the photo, but the strike looks a bit weak. On the obverse the “LI” in Liberty looks weak. On the reverse, the first few letters in “E PLUR...” look weak, as does the “O” in ONE, and the top of the wheat ears as well. But again, maybe it’s the photo?
My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

Nice example of a 1910. I don’t believe I have one to compare but I have a 1911 and the copper mix seems to leave them lighter in overall color then years in 20’s and beyond or a least that is something I have noticed. Thanks for the share.
Best place to buy !

Inside of rim is weak at bottom of reverse. Should be square all the way around.
